Vextressa Skadi -
Closest Friend

Vex and Monte tried to date but, their lives kept pulling them apart in different directions. After some time, they decided it was best to stay friends. When they do get time to catch up, they like to spend time burning the midnight oil talking about their adventures.

Jason & Jessica Cristo - Parents
-Deceased-

They taught Monte most of what they knew as general knowledge. Jason was an Ex-Garlean who mastered the Gunblade. Both were executed during a Garlean attack for treason/abandonment.

Egwene Alvere - Betrothed
-Deceased-

Egwene was a free spirited girl. She grew up with Monte when his family moved into the Black Shroud. She was out looking for new plants and seeds when a Marlboro snuck up behind her. Running home with the monster in tow she collapsed to her ailments. Monte rushed to her side trying remedy and tincture to help stabilize her.
Egwene and her family left via cart the next day to look for a conjurer to help heal her. She gave Monte her lucky silver ring when she left.
Months later Monte received a letter saying she passed away from her ailments.

Rikket - Companion

Rikket is Monte's pet given to him by his parents when he was very young. Monte can't remember where they were when he got him. All he can remember is that a traveling salesman sold him while, they were on the road. Rikket is a White Whittret; Monte pronounced it "Rikket" so, the name stuck.

Egwene - Companion

Egwene is Monte's Chocobo, after his betrotheds death Monte worked in Uldah for a while. Monte would talk to his companions daily to help get rid of the "loneliness" feeling.

Growing up Monte could never grow a mustache like his fathers. All Monte could ever grow was a little pencil scruff. One day while Jason and Monte were out tending the fields, he told his son the Legend of the Mustache.
J: Monte come over here, take a break for a minute and let me tell you a story.
M: Okay?? I feel like I'm a little old for stories but, anything to get out of this heat.
Monte walks over and sits down beside Jason
J: Gently stroking his mustache Now I can clearly see you have been trying to grow a mustache like mine. However you will never be able to until you are a "Man" by the Cristo standards.M: Monte looks puzzled
I'm nearly 18 how much more of a "Man" do I need to be?
J: It's not related to age my son, I didn't grow this beautiful stache of mine until just before you were born. Legend has it that the Cristo's have this innate trait, to grow a beautiful mustache as you see here. The first mustache we know about of this proportion was by your Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather Alexander Cristo.... I may have left out a Great or two. He was well into age when he was out tending to the fields when a heard of raging Buffalo threatened the town. He and the other villagers tried pushing the Buffalo out of town. There was a little girl in the path of one of these raging beasts. Alexander ran for the little girl without hesitation. As the large beast lifted is feet in the air, to crush the little girl, Alexander pushed her out of the way. The Buffalo slammed down on his leg crushing it to the point of needing amputation. A week later Alexander started to grow his very own beautiful mustache.
So keep your head up and at some point in your lifetime an opportunity will present itself. You will have your own mustache before you know it.. Maybe I'll get to see it one day.
M: How did you get your mustache dad?J: That is a story for another time my son, now it's time to get back to work.During the Garlean attack Monte, tried to rescue his parents and paid the price of being nearly beaten to death and left for dead. He isn't sure how long he was unconscious but, when he awoke he had the beginning of a beautiful mustache.
Every morning before Monte starts his day he strokes each side of his mustache 100 times.

I'm kind of newish to RP in the setting of XIV. I've done some small RP things (mostly just NPC type stuff). I'm not 100% sure what my niche for RP will be, however all Dark related RP should be discussed first. Vore related is a hard no fam. For dark and mature themed RP, please be 18+ IC & OOC. I'm a home body and I am in school online. So my availability can be pretty open minus during raid times.

Hooks

  • You ran into Monte during his travels with his family.

  • He helped you and/or saw him during his time working as a Paladin in Ul'dah.

  • You are looking to procure food for consumption or for a banquet.

  • You saw him reading in a library or studying professions at a guild.

Right now my hooks sound kind of "bleh". It's something that I plan on working more but, I'm up for working something in.
